Millimeter-Wave Channel Modeling Based on A Unified Propagation Graph Theory

In this letter, a unified propagation graph modeling approach is proposed, which is applicable to predicting multipath radio propagation by considering both specular components (SCs) and diffuse components (DCs). In this approach, the semi-deterministic graph modeling is used to generate multi-bounce DCs, and a single-lobe directive model is applied to reproducing individual single-bounce SCs together with DCs associated. The performance of the proposed approach is assessed by comparing measured channel characteristics with simulation results for 60 GHz millimeter-wave propagation in an office environment.
